Default Hangar 9 Alpha Trainer and Floats

Could I mount floats on my Alpha trainer?

Brian,

You would not recommend those floats or any floats?

Chris.

A great airplane on floats, but Gee Bees suck. A friend of mine gave me some different floats, not sure what kind but much better.

I test flew an Alpha trainer last year for a fellow. It flew just like any other trainer on floats. I believe his were the Falcon floats, they worked great. Sorry but I can't remember any of the details about the mounting system but it looked pretty conventional to me. We had to cut the water rudder down to about half size so it wouldn't be too sensitive on the water.
